Donna Haraway was born in Denver in 1944 and attended Catholic schools.
Haraway uses the metaphor of the cyborg to discuss the relationships of science, technology, and "socialist-feminism." She holds that hi-tech culture challenges and breaks down the old dualisms of Western thinking like the mind/body split, Self/Other, male/female, reality/appearance, and truth/illusion. She holds that we are no longer able to think of ourselves in these terms, or even strictly speaking, as biological entities. Instead, we have become cyborgs, mixtures of human and machine, where the biological side and the mechanical/electrical side become so inextricably entwined that they can't be split.
among aother things she has written the article
- a cyborg manifesto - and the book - the onco mouse -
she feares that we all will become cybor g in the future
a mixing of genes from human beings, animals, plants
and mycro-chips. and we will no longer be born
or die ever, but be cyborg.
we will not emerge from clay and return to dust anymore (som der staar i bibelen).
with - the onco mouse - has been created a nearly artifical mouse,
which is design to be use for experiments. its genes has been
manipulated, so it has a number of convinient qualities.
this is one of the first exsamples of the cyborg,
we can await from the future.
